BL Drama Lovers Club

 Hannah:

Does anyone else think Pavel looks younger in Goddess Bless You from Death than he did in Pitbabe S1?

I don't think he looks younger, but both he and Pooh seem more confident and solid in their performances.

 Lily:

How do you guys decide where to post your thoughts?

I’m not the best with words and sometimes I can be a bit repetitive, but I really enjoy writing about things that move me. I used to share my thoughts in the comment sections of the shows, but unfortunately, it’s not as open or welcoming as it should be. On the bright side, I found this club and the block button. These days, I rarely post there. I usually leave my reviews on the show’s main page, especially since I only recently realized I could add comments to the lists I created. Yeah, I know… lol. And I totally agree about The Bangkok Boy. Shine, Kill to Love, I’ll Turn Back This Time, and Chosen Home really hit me hard this year.

Welcome! If you go to the first page of this group you can find banners and badges. (But I can’t use them because it doesn’t work from a mobile device 🙁)

Thanks. Do I have to click on them?

 Ju Moon:

To the contrary: I've often wondered, assuming that English isn't your native language, at how extraordinarily well you write.

That's an understatement. I generally avoid MDL comments like the plague unless I'm looking for some specific information. Thank goodness for this group, where we treat each other positively, respectfully and supportively.

 Ju Moon:

I’ll Turn Back This Time, and Chosen Home really hit me hard this year.

As I posted a few pages back, "Chosen Home" quickly won my heart, and I'm likewise devouring each Sunday's episode (one week delay on Netflix). It might be too gentle and heart-warming for some, but I love stuff like this.

"I'll Turn Back This Time" feels so long ago. I also was deeply invested in it, and I would definitely call it underrated (maybe because it doesn't have the BL-requisite happy ending?). One of the nice things about these discussions, and about looking back as the year draws to a close and reflecting on our favourites, is the pleasure that comes from refreshing our memories.

 Ju Moon:

Head2Head: I’m having an absolute blast with this show.

As with quite a few GMMTV productions, the strength is the cast - in this case, not only the familiar actors to whom I'm already very attached (Keen, Sea, JJ, plus guest roles by Newie and Paul) but also Surf & Java, who've quickly won me over.

Yes, just right click in the image area and select "save image as".

Use the "Direct link" box.  This should do it!

I randomly started watching it tonight and it's been a charming and quirky watch. A favorite combo for me!

Thank you for clarifying my instructions! I’m not exactly a tech expert lol.

now I definitely need to start chosen home. I’m just watching so many shows it’s been hard to juggle!

I want to join!  

The Wicked Game - episodes 2 - 7

I binge watched to catch up with all the episodes I missed. 

These are my very honest thoughts:

In recent times I prefer to give certain types of comments and write reviews after a finale because a finale gives finality in terms of plot development. However, this series has long passed the halfway mark with only 3 episodes remaining to be aired. Furthermore, I highly doubt that there will any type of major shift in plot to the improvement of the series. 

This series has disappointed me to be honest. I love the concept of the plot, but in my opinion, while they have an intriguing plot concept, they failed to manifest it adequately into a series that brings the concept to life. Certain characterisations of some characters are vacuous which robs the series of the seriousness some of the themes call for. As a result, instead of causing me to lean forward on the edge of my seat, I was left irritated and found more hype than substance. I must say that it would appear that they were acting out a weak Wattpad story. 

I look forward to seeing what the final overall rating will be, and the accompanying reviews from fans. Undoubtedly, Century of Love is a far better series, and this is a downgrade in every aspect.
